Did Anyone Else Score The 1st Pac-Morales Fight A Draw?

[Violent Demise]

Im definately not a Pac groupie lol I actually picked Oscar and Hatton to beat him...as embarassing as it is to admit. I guess Im a fan of his now, but its hard not to appreciate what hes done in is career. I was just thinking about the fight and I remembered how I scored it for some reason. At the time I definately wasnt a Pac fan. I was a fan of JMM and he had just drew with him a few fights before. I honestly wasnt pulling for either fighter, I just had it a draw. Like I said, not to take anything away from Morales, hes a Legend and I have no problem with the decision as it was close.

I wasn't talking about you. You alright. I know you ain't no groupie. I blame you scoring it a draw to heavy drug use.

I also had it a draw (6-6) but got no complain with the judges 7-5 scoring in favor of Erik... One swing round in the judges scorecard and it will be a draw (6-6)... Only PAC haters will score it 9-3 or worst for Morales... It's a very close fight and 9-3 is just ridiculous...
.

I rest my case.

How the hell was that a draw? I don't think Morales dominated Pacquiao in the fight, but no way did Pacquiao deserve a draw in that fight. Even in the second fight I didn't Pacquiao ahead on the scorecards until quite late in the fight.

A few boxing journalist had it a draw. Pedro fernandez even have it a pac win.

Morales looks spectacular in rounds he won and still have his moments on rounds won by pacquiao that's why it looks convincing.


7 rounds to 5 is fine. get 1 round the other way and you have a draw. a draw doesnt sound insane IMO.


115-113 is the official decision. I have no problem with that.

Miron i agree with everything you said, dont agree with Fernandez that Pac won though either. Morales did look awesome in spots throughout the fight

I remember watching that fight and I knew it was close but I thought Pac lost that one. I might take another look but first looks are usually right more often than not.

I had the fight 115-113 for Morales. I remember it being a close fight but Morales had it.

agreed, i had the same score as the judges actually, but it could have easily been 116-112 if Morales hadn't clearly given away the final round, cause he did with the whole southpaw bit, at the time of the stoppage in the rematch, i believe i had Pacquiao ahead by one round, but it was still a competitive fight, no way that the 1st fight should have been a draw, although i had it 115-113, it sounds a lot closer than what it was, it was a CLEAR CUT win for Morales, not like the Pacquiao/Marquez fights

Well the fight was 4 years ago which would make me 21, so it would be the booze that wouldve impaired my judgement, but I stand by my scoring. I remember it pretty clearly. I agree with Saddoboxer that 9-3 is pretty ridiculous. 115-113 Morales is acceptable.
